A bus loaded with ballot boxes was intercepted by police in Issele-Uku, Aniocha North local government area, Delta state, on March 12, 2015, Thursday.
According to Vanguard, more than 30 ballot boxes were dropped off by a luxury bus heading to the east from the north at Onicha-Ugbo junction.
A reliable source said that the luxury bus had taken off before the people in the area could draw attention of the police to the event, and described how a smaller bus with number plate Edo USL 832 XL, which came to pick up the boxes at the junction, was stopped by police and the driver apprehended.
The witness, who did not want to be named, said the boxes had the picture of one of the major political parties’ presidential aspirants and his running mate on them.
Attempts made to contact the divisional police officer for comments on the incident were unsuccessful at the time of writing this report.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer close to the division confirmed the arrest, and added that an inquiry was being conducted to determine the source of the boxes.
Stating that the boxes were similar to the ones used in the days of the Federal Electoral Commission, he said the driver admitted that they were being used to raise funds for the said presidential candidate at the grassroots.
The police official said the ballot boxes were sent through a waybill from the Kano central office of the party.
The driver and the bus loaded with the ballot boxes were still being detained at the police station.
The state secretary of the party (names suspended) said he was not aware of the case.
Another source in the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “I am not aware of anything like that. If at all it is true, it must be the handwork of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because there is nothing they cannot do. PDP can stage-manage anything.”
Deinghan Ray-Macaulay, the state PDP publicity secretary, said: “PDP could not involve itself in anything like that when we are sure of victory at the elections, particularly in Delta State.
“We are getting upper hand so we cannot do a thing like that. It is only those who are not sure of victory that can do such a thing and forment trouble.
“I strongly appeal to the police to carry out a thorough investigation into the matter.”
In a similar episode, ballot boxes loaded inside a truck were found during a search operation by soldiers from the 35th Artillery Army Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta, on January 20, in Ogun state.
Another lorry full with ballot boxes was found in Ibadan, Osun state.
Recently Kaduna state police arrested a woman who was accused of being engaged in the business of selling permanent voter cards.

So a bus carrying ballot papers was intercepted
The ballot paper has a picture of presidential aspirant instead of all
The ballot paper was used during the time of federal election commission so it is not current
The spokesman of the party whose presidential candidate appeared on it blamed PDP so it has to be apc spokesman since they blame PDP for everything
PDP spokesman denied it cos it is their stronghold
The ballot papers came from kano others have been found in osun abekouta and kaduna state all APC stronghold.

This is rigging mechanism of APC intercepted by the police just like the one found in niger state in the north.No wonder APC was crying over the postponment they have already planned to rig.Jega too has a hand in this

APC have a hand in this I was also in Bida Niger state when they (APC) were caught, so as an aggressive party they will do any thing possible to rig the election

Mumu you're contradicting yourself. If you're claiming this was an APC Job then what is the meaning of your above comment?? Delta state is a PDP state so PDP is "simply trying to arrogate more votes to themselves under the cover that it is their stronghold" (in your own words)
